Maybe I should download the Yo-Kai Watch demo & see if I'm into it. I heard a podcast describe the anime by comparing it to Bo-Bobo in how silly it gets & I instantly became interested.

Yeah, nothing is on Bo-bobo's level (not even Gintama).

But Yo-Kai Watch does get wacky. I'm still surprised they got away with the episode where Nate and his friends watch late-night cable porn.

Maybe I'll still check out that one episode I heard about people being surprised that Disney actually kept (the one about the boys trying to secretly watch late night TV or something). At the very least, it sounds like something that I might've enjoyed as a kid.

....& one of these days, I'll own Bo-Bobo on DVD, excluding that super lame 4-episode disc where I had to freakin' mail it in to get the subtitles for the Japanese audio since it's very different compared to the dub where they changed some of the jokes due to them being very Japanese.

I'm going to take a break from this community for awhile. I still enjoy watching Toonami but I don't really enjoy watching it with a community that has had multiple members who have shit on me for the things I like or don't like and generally made the atmosphere very negative. I apologize if anything I've posted in the past has helped create a negative attitude in this thread or if I've shit on someone for something they like or don't like its something I've actively been trying better to not do. Thank you guys for a lot of great memories.

I'm sorry and I apologize for pushing it. I may not agree with some of your assertions, but by and large I enjoy having you around. I always want to see more posters, not less.

I can't stop you, but you should know that I want you back.

So tonight on Toonami, we have an exploding planet, the return of Justice girl, more parasitic romance, gang warfare, an hour of filler, and Nui.

Should be fun on a bun.

The good news: It's toonami time.

The bad news: I might miss it because I had a few mojitos at dinner and-

Just beat FF7 for the first time and I killed Sephiroth in one hit with Knights of the Round

I didn't know you could get this overpowered in games...

you think that's overpowered? Try FF8. Max rinoa's speed and magic stats, have auto-haste on her, her only offensive magic spell as meteor, and use Angel Wings.

You will literally kill Omega Weapon before its first turn.

Didn't Freeza just cut himself into pieces?

Yes, but just wait.

Frieza is going to switch rapidly from smug as fuck (despite missing his lower half and one arm.) to salt incarnate.

Now go play FF8 and reflect on how we perhaps all should have realized that Squall was the sign of FF's downfall. A prelude to terrible empty characters like Vaan and Lightning.

Tonight on Toonami, Frieza begs for his life as time runs out on Namek, Tatsumi and Mine run afoul of justice, Shinichi spills the beans to Kana, the trio decides to disband and go their separate ways (already?!) and find themselves in the employ of rival gangs in this opening act of Samurai Champloo's first two-parter, Naruto talks his way into the mission as Team Kakashi prepares to assault Guren's team, the split up Straw Hats begin to square off against the hunters of the Accino Family, and Ryuko does her best Cincinnati Bengals impression.

8:00 - Dragonball Z Kai - 52 - Duel on a Vanishing Planet! The Final Showdown!
...
12:00 - Dragonball Z Kai - 53 - Goku's Final Attack! Countdown to Planet Namek's Destruction!
12:30 - Akame ga Kill! - 19 - Kill Fate
1:00 - Parasyte -the maxim- - 12 - Kokoro
1:30 - Samurai Champloo - 3 - Hellhounds for Hire (Part 1)
2:00 - Naruto Shippuden - 95 - The Two Charms
2:30 - One Piece - 329 - The Assassins Attack! The Great Battle on Ice Begins!
3:00 - KILL la KILL - 12 - Spit Your Sadness Away

It's true! I don't want it to be, but it is!

Squall was the moment! The moment we should have all been worried. They briefly somewhat righted that ship with 9 and 10, but then it was all downhill from there.

Especially Vaan. Fuck this character.

Vaan made me stop loving FF.

When it comes to sports, Line takes more L's than Sanji.

Also, FFXIV is the first great Final Fantasy game. Well Tactics Advance was pretty great too.

I actually really liked that game, I wish they would have put out the international version of it. The combat system was cool and the story was told in an interesting way.

Meh, I don't. It's an expectations thing. The fact that Kill la Kill dropped significantly in quality from a point where it was pretty good did it no favors.


Not me personally, but it was part of the argument. And again, the show kind of stops being quite so impressive as it goes along. Consistency is absolutely something that should be considered; a show's high points don't mean a lot if it doesn't maintain a decent standard of quality, and SAO's standard of quality was higher. Do I think that necessarily makes it superior? No. Like I said, I was in Michiko's corner, but I don't think it's an unreasonable point of view, either.


I really do think Michiko did get to be a huge chore at times, even if I appreciated what it was attempting mostly. Like, we were gonna throw One Piece up there before we put Michiko up there.


Michiko and Hatchin's storytelling is fairly similar to Bebop in that it's an episodic show that's trying to convey depth while simultaneously being rather sparse with its themes; it's just kind of terrible at doing so and really struggles at letting the viewer know just what the hell it's doing.

And it's not even so much Bebop itself but Bebop as the poster child for the Very Important Anime. Michiko really, really wants to be profound.

I meant to reply to this a while ago but I think it got lost in a tab somewhere. Anyway:

A) I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on this point on trying & failing (assuming the end result is missed potential as opposed to something dreadful) vs just being plain mediocre.

B) If if you want to take the mean quality as the most important factor, I don't think the average quality of SAO beat any of those other shows. The low points of SAO drag it way the hell down and when it wasn't being offensive, it was just boring or stupid.

C) I feel if that is the criteria used to state "M&H was trying to crib Cowboy Bebop's style" then you have to accuse a whole lot of shows of doing the same. I don't think "didn't live up to CB" is a fair metric as I don't feel the show ever sold itself as such.

Hilariously enough, this game had overtime and still finished 15 minutes earlier than last weeks game. Fights and penalties add up quick.
